Pretty good management!

Pros

management is good

Cons

loud street at night (lincoln tunnel)

Former tenant·7 months ago

Worst management every - good building and amenities otherwise

Pros

Clean and good amenities

Cons

Worst management which never ever responds to anything. I have tried calling and emailing them constantly about an issue for 4 months but never heard back. You're completely on your own for any issue that occurs.

Advice to the owners

The lady Frimie is extremely unresponsive. She might be the most irresponsible person I've ever interacted with.
